World's first solar-sail cargo ship to be built next year

Tokyo-based Greenheart Project is building the world's first solar-sail cargo ship as early as next year. This ship will make fair trade even more fairer by getting the transportation into the hands of the people making products for trade. They can control to whom and how their products get ship, meaning producers can finally decide to ship at zero-emissions. This ship will not only be used for fair trade, but can be utilized in a variety of situations, such as ocean monitoring, fishing, debris removal, et cetera. Watch the video and see for yourself. Greenheart is also looking to raise $120,000 by October 15th at a famous crowdfunding website called Indiegogo http://www.indiegogo.com/greenheart
